MILL STARTS “APRIL FIRST Crookston Lumber Company Plant Will Resume Opera- tion on That Date. '.NlGll’l' AND DAY SHIFTS TO BE PUT ON AT BEGINNING. Cut Will ‘Be as Large as That of Last Year-Four Hundred Men to Be Employed. Manager J. M. Richards of the Crookston Lumber company to- day stated that the company’s plant in this city would resume operations on April 1. “From the start,”’ said Mr. Richards, “both a day and night crew will be employed, and, al- though there is no definite man- ner of ascertaining the amount of timber that will be manufac- tured, we expect that the cut will be fully as large as last year. We will employ about 400 men, 200 on each shift.” The amount of lumber cut last year by. the company’s mill in this city was about 85,000,000 feet, but in view of the fact that only a day crew was employed during the early part of the sea- son, it is expected that ent of the plant during the coming summer will exceed that of last year. The logging season has been very successful during the past winter, and a sufficient number of logs havé been landed to keep the mill running night and day for the next seven months. Preparations for starting the aill haye been under way for some time past, and a crew of men will be employed until the date for resuming operations making repairs to mach.nex y and generally putting the plant in shape to start manufacturing lumber. CHILDREN FOR PIN CUSHIONS Aged Parent Gives Advice as to Correction of Those Who Won’t Be Good. “You may pound a child with a club until he is black and blue,” said an aged gentleman who looked as if he knew whereof he was speaking, this morning, “but nine cases out of ten the minute ~ you take your eyeoff him fora © _moment he will be right back at his old tricks. -There is only on'e manner in which to punish an unruly child to gain complete mastery over him, This is with apin. This may sound funny to some, but I have tried the ex- periment and have ro trouble at all with my children. They are all mortally afraid of being used as a pin cushion, and the mom- ent, they do anything wrong they come and tell me all about it in- stead of waiting until I find it out, asin the latter case they always receive a few pricks with 2 pin and the puunishment seems to be dreaded more than a good flogging. If Bemidji parents who have unruly children will only try the pin cushion mode of punishment I think that there will be many more good boys and girls in the city.” Steenerson Here. Hon. Halvor Steenerson was in the city yesterday to attend the funeral of L. H, Bailey and left for his home at Crookston on the west bound night train. Mr. Steenersonhas recently returned from Washington, D. C., where he attended the session of con- gress. Mr. Steenerson feels satisfied with his work while at- tending the session, but would liked to haye seen his homestead bill granting the Indians right to convey their lands passed, as it would have brought much land into the taxable list, whereas it is now exempt. Mr. Steener- son is busying himself with his large law practice at Crookston and will bein Bemidji during the district court session. — Nothing can be better than the best—Mark’s lung Balsam is the TRIES GET-AWAY WITH MONEY Attempts to Steal Money From Patient But is Nabbed by Police. J. D, Kennedy, who has been employed at St. Anthony’s hos- pital for some time past, this afterncon attempted to steal money from a patient while the latter was taking a bath. Ken- nedy condvcted the patient to thie bath room at the hospital and after the latter had disrobed him- self Kennedy took $25 in money and a watch from his clothes, afterwards making a hasty exit from the hospital. The theft was soon discovered, however, and the police were notified. Officer Helmer found the track of two men who were leaving the city on the Great Northern track, bound westward. He took after them and after a chase which lasted about an hour succeeded in arresting them about two miles west of the city. Kennedy was identified and confessed to having taken the money and the watch, and the articles were afterwards found on the track, where he had thrown them while being pursued by the officer.. It is probable that the hospital offi- cials will make nc complaint against either of the men. Salvationists to Entertain.

NOT DEAD Letter From Sister Says Be- midji Wrestler Is Still Living. WILL PROBABLY LOSE RIS EYE- SIGHT, HOWEVER. Bradley Tenders His Resignation as Member of Bemidiji Militia Company. The report that C. E. Bradley, the Bemidji wrestler and prize fighter who was shot by an Indian during a quarrel in a saloon at Spur, near Bena, had died at Minneapolis, is erroneous. A let- ter from his sister, Miss Nelia McLaughlin, says that he is still living, but that one eye has been removed and it will in all probab- ility be necessary to remove the other one. Bradley has asked his sister to tender his resignation in the Bemidji militia company, of which he was a member. Fol- lowing is the letter, which was veceived by Robert Clark: Minneapolis, Minn., March 11, 1905. Mr. Rob’t Clark, Bemidji. Minn. Dear Sir:— I presume you have heard of my brother, Carl Bradley’s, acci- cent. He wishes te write you that he will have to tender his resig- nation in your militia company. His accident has blinded - him. One eye has beer removed and there is a very slight chance of saving the sight of the other one. [t is a very sad thing. He is now in the hospital at the soldier’s home. Very respectfuily, ~ —Mrs. Nelia McLaughlin. Coughs All Night, But Quickly Cured by Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. ‘A few mornings ago Mr. J. G. Smitherman, a good citizen of this place, came to the store for medicine,” says Dr. Parnell, of Maplesville, Ala. “He. was so hoarse that he could hardly talk and said that he had coughed all the night before. I sold him a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy and told him that if it did not relieve him he might bring the bottle back and get his money. I saw him the next morning carrying the bottle to the store where he works, and he told me it done him more good than any medicine he ever used.”’ For sale by Barker’s Drug Store. LORD ROTHSCHILD'S VIEWS. Does Not Know Where Russia Can Borrow More Money. London, March 16.—Lord Rothschild regards the postponement of the Rus- sian loan as tantamount to a refusal on the part of the French syndicate to treat any further. “After all,” he said, “it cannot be a matter for surprise. It is owing to the force of circumstances and not, T think, to result of pressure on the part of the French government in the in- terests of peace. Between $2,500,000,- 000 and-$3,000,000,000 of French money is.invested in Russia. There is nothing more natural than at the present time, with the affairs of Russia in the state that they are both at home and abroad, that it should become difficult, at least, to find subscribers in France to an- other Russian loan. That is all. I think it is force of circumstances and not pressure tending to peace on the part of the French government. The French know that to continue the war means a revolution in Russia and to cease it now under the present condi- tions means a revolution.” X Lord Rothschild thought it was diffi- cult to say where Russia would find the money to continue the war. DRAWN BY GRAIN DEALERS. — 7 Important Railway Bill in the lllinois Legislature. Springfield, 1., March 16.—A bill drawn by the Illinois Grain Dealers’ association, providing for a uniform reciprocal demurrage law in this state and requiring the Illinois railroad and warehouse commission to enforce the provisions of the measure, was intro- duced in the house of representatives during the day. There is at present no such law on the statute books of any of the states. The bili was drawn after elaborate legal advice. The bill requires the railroad and warehouse tommission to fix storage, demurrage and car service charges and to fix the time after receipt of freight at desti- ‘| nation at which such charges shall begin. RS Los Angeles, Cal, March is.—The violent and extensive storm that has swept Southern California since last Sunday morning from San Diego to Tehachapi mountains, interrupting all communications with Northern Cali- fornia, both telegraphic and telephone, demoralizing railroad traffic and flood- g the -entire country with three to five inches of rainall, shows signs of breaking. Clever Game Being Worked on Northern Pacific Trains. The secret seryice officials of the Northern Pacific have been endeavoring to locate some glever pickpockets who have been oper ating on trains and have had their headquarters in Fargo. The officers have about concluded the work is being done by young wo- men who make frequent trips west from St. Paul, some times as far as Fargo. It is said they work the racket of trav-ling un- accompanied and unfamiliar with the ways of the world. Some gallant traveling man or gay old passenger seeks to relieve the young woman from embarass- ment and is touched for his watch, pin or money, and then insists pickpockets did the work while he was crowding into the car or at the depots. TREATY WILL GO OVER ALL HOPE ABANDONED OF RATI- FYING DOMINICAN CONVEN- TION AT THIS TIME. LEADERS TALK WITH THE PRESIDENT SENATORS DESIRE MORE OPPOR- TUNITY TO SECURE INFOR- MATION ON SUBJECT. Washington, March 16.—Hope has been abandoned of ratifying theSanio Domingo treaty at the present session of the senate. The treaty is not dead, -but will be laid aside a few months. Senator Cullom of Illinois, chairman of the committee on foreign relations, who has charge of the treaty in the senate, has apprehended since the de- bate opened on Monday that it would be scarcely possible to secure favora- ble action upon it at this time. ‘While no definite agreement has been reached yet it is quite: probable that the senate will put. the treaty aside without taking a vote, thus hold- ing the convention before the body un- til some later time. It is pointed out, however, that a vote might be taken and, it the treaty should be rejected, a motion to reconsider could be entered and adopted by a majority vote. This would hold the treaty before the sen- ate. Senator Cullom and several other senators talked with the president dur- ing the day about the matter and all the indications are that no definite ac- tion on it will be taken at present. Senators on both sides of the chamber manifest a desire for more explicit in- formation regarding some phases of the Santo Domingo question before Passing Upon the Treaty. The idea which meets greatest ap- proval now is that arrangements will be made by the senate to acquire dur- ing the recess of congress all informa- tion concerning Santo Domingo affairs that the senale may desire in order that it may pass upon the treaty in a way satisfactory to itself. ‘When the senate shall convene next autumn with all the members present the treaty will be taken up and considered in the light of the developments at that time. In view of this tacit understanding it is quite probable the senate will ad- journ Friday. It is known that sev- eral senators have made arrangements to leave Washington the latter part of this week. After the president had discussed the situation of the treaty with the senators who had called at the White House he had a conference with Sec- retaries Hay and Taft. The former, who has been confined to his home for several days with a bronchial affec- tion, went to the White House in his carriage and at the conclusion of the conference returned to his home. The conference continued for a considera- ble time, but while it is understood that it related to the Santo Domingo question no details of the discussion were disclosed. SANTO DOMINGO RELATIONS. Senator Teller Introduces Resolution of Inquiry. Washington, March 16.—When the senate met there was a very interest- ing flurry over Santo Domingo affairs. Mr. Teller (Colo.) introduced a res- olution of inquiry asking the state de- partment for all information cencern- ing relations with the Dominican gov- ernment between July 1, 1904, gnd March 1, 1965. The reading of the resolution had scarcely begun when Mr. Cullom ob- jected to further reading, saying that the matter pertained to executive ses- sion business and should not be read in open session. After some discussion the resolution was read and the senate then went into executive session. Soon after the senate went into ex- ecutive session Senator Heyburn of Idaho made an extended argument in favor of the annexation of Santo Do- mingo. At the beginning of the last congress Senator Heyburn introduced a resolution for annexation and sup- ported it at that time in a speech. He declared that the destiny of this as well as other islands was to be a part of or under the contml of the United States ,S’;iléndid Showing o Dress Goods...
